Re: Newton Fractal

Yes, I understand; but when I saw your post earlier on about Newton's going haywire if the initial guess was out of its range, I recalled a similar issue with another problem years ago that I wrote on my Sharp PC-1500A with its version of BASIC, where I used Newton's Method to solve it, and I was just letting you know my experience. My guess had to be so close to the answer that I had to enter what I thought was an unrealistically close initial approximation.
